Subscribers! As in you should be one. Thanks to Tracy's incredibly talented and techie friend Ted, you can now sign up to receive emails when we post a book review. We're not looking to flood your inbox—we average 1 - 2 book reviews a week—you should only hear from us a couple times tops. So for a little cheer and book love in a sometimes dreary inbox, subscribe here. Or click on the Subscribe tab with that darling little "new!" above it. That's compliments of Ted as well. We owe this kind man a burger.

The Giving Manger. A beautiful way to put service back in the season and remind us all why we celebrate.

Hot cocoa, a cozy blanket, and a good book. We'll take our cocoa in one of these lovelies, please.

Your little library buffs are going to love bringing home their latest finds in this.

Book recommendations. A favorite friend suggested Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection. A timely read as our ever-growing (and largely left undone) holiday to-do lists threaten to melt us into a pool of self-loathing.
